Chapter Seventy-Four: Enjoying the Moon and Flowers

Ling Xi lay quietly in Xiang Hongxuan's arms, she looked at the starry sky, the sky was covered with dark clouds, tonight was not a good day to admire the moon.

"Your Majesty, it seems that God doesn't want us to admire the moon, you see that the Dark Cloud Divine Monarch has abducted the Moon God Niangniang." Ling Xi teased.

Xiang Hongxuan's hand gently pinched the tip of Ling Xi's nose, and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "My queen is naughty, she said such bold and reckless words, if the prince and princess hear it in the future, what should I do?" ”

Ling Xi immediately straightened up from Xiang Hongxuan's arms, and asked seriously, "Then Your Majesty said, where did this Moon God Niangniang go?" ”

Xiang Hongxuan had an idea, smiled slightly and said: "I'm afraid that the woman's appearance is not good, and I am ashamed to see people, so I will touch up my makeup in the boudoir." ”

Poof, Ling Xi was amused by Xiang Hongxuan's words, and suddenly Ling Xi seemed to think of something, she trotted to the pond in the courtyard and looked at the lake for a long time, sure enough, her hair bun was a little messy, Xiang Hongxuan was making fun of her.

"Queen, what's wrong with you, you don't dare to see me?" Xiang Hongxuan began to laugh at Ling Xi, but Ling Xi did not immediately return to the house to touch up her makeup, she turned around and returned to Xiang Hongxuan's side, sat down slowly, and said confidently: "Your Majesty, you messed up the concubine's bun." ”

"Doesn't the queen know that women are pleasing to themselves?" While speaking, Xiang Hongxuan also played with the ends of the hair on Ling Xi's chest, and didn't seem to have much opinion on Ling Xi's outfit.

"The concubine's posture of the willows, no matter how well she dresses up, it is not amazing enough, it is better like this, Your Majesty will get used to it when you look at it."

The corners of Xiang Hongxuan's mouth rose slightly, this is the Ling Xi he knows, Ling Xi can't do this kind of thing, of course, if Ling Xi really learns, what is the difference between Ling Xi and a harem woman? Xiang Hongxuan lay his head on Ling Xi's lap with one side, and his hands also grabbed one of Ling Xi's palms and stroked it gently.

"Queen, half a year soon, a year at the slow, Yan En will raise enough military salaries for me, and then I will raise an army to destroy the Nanxi Kingdom, and I will become the promising emperor of Dongyu, give me a prince, so that I and Dongyu have some confidence."

Xiang Hongxuan looked at Ling Xi affectionately, he wanted a son so much, especially Ling Xi's birth, he was extremely eager for it.

"If the concubine can't give birth to the prince, will Your Majesty be disgusted with the concubine?"

Suddenly, Ling Xi felt a sharp pain in his hands, and Xiang Hongxuan unconsciously increased the strength of his hands, and he pinched Ling Xi.

"The queen will never know how infatuated I am with the queen, the sea is dry and the stones are rotten, and I will not lose the queen." Xiang Hongxuan said categorically.

He didn't lie about it, originally he thought that he would not find Ling Xi, but he didn't expect God to send her to him, although he missed Ling Xi for a few years, but fortunately, in the end he recognized Ling Xi, and Ling Xi also accompanied him through the palace change, through life and death, how could he make her sad and disgusted with her?

"The concubine is just afraid that after entering the palace for so long, she has not given birth to a prince, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to give birth to a prince."

Saying that, Ling Xi's other hand also covered Xiang Hongxuan's eyebrows,

She gently stroked Xiang Hongxuan's frowning brows, as if she wanted to smooth out all the troubles in Xiang Hongxuan's heart. She believed what Xiang Hongxuan said, and Xiang Hongxuan was sincere at this moment, but when she thought of what Jiang Zhennan said, she was full of thoughts, would she be the next Queen Bo? Will the Ling family and the Jiang family be worse than the Bo family?

"The queen doesn't have to worry, as long as I work hard, the queen will definitely do what I want."

Ling Xi and Xiang Hongxuan looked at each other and smiled, at this moment, they could even feel each other's heartbeat, Ling Xi knew that at this moment, his and hers' hearts were connected.

I don't know when, Xiao Dezi walked into the courtyard, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, Qianyunju sent someone to say that the moon flowers planted by Princess Zhaoqing have bloomed, please go and enjoy the flowers." ”

"Zhaoqing has really bloomed in the moon season?" Xiang Hongxuan immediately got up, with an incredible look, he said with a smile on his face: "Queen, don't you know, I, the imperial sister, have never seen her plant flowers and plants since she was a child, before she told me to plant a yard of Yueji, I also laughed at her at the time, saying that she couldn't plant alive, now it seems that I mistook Zhaoqing, I really have to go and see it." ”

After saying that, Xiang Hongxuan strode away from Qingfeng Garden excitedly, Ling Xi looked at Xiang Hongxuan's back as he left, she frowned. Why is it tonight, in the afternoon, after Tang Meiren came, Zhaoqing invited her to enjoy the flowers, she didn't go, and in the evening Zhaoqing was so anxious to invite Xiang Hongxuan to enjoy the flowers, or invited Xiang Hongxuan from Qingfeng Garden, the same as in the afternoon, it was so coincidental that it couldn't be more coincidental.

Aunt Yan slowly approached Ling Xi's side with a cloak, she gently draped the cloak on Ling Xi's body, and said with concern: "Queen Mother, it's a little cold at night, you better go into the house and rest." ”

Ling Xi ignored Aunt Yan's words, she looked up at the sky, and the moon, which had no trace just now, also ran out of the dark clouds, the moonlight was bright, but unfortunately Xiang Hongxuan left, and was called away by his sister to enjoy the flowers, Ling Xi sneered and said, "Aunt Yan, do you think Princess Zhaoqing's moon flowers will wither overnight?" ”

"Princess Zhaoqing has been smart and clever since she was a child, and she is quite favored by the emperor, and she is also famous for her brutality and willfulness, of course, the princesses of any country are the same, they are all such personalities, but Princess Zhaoqing has one thing that is stronger than other princesses, and she has the style of the queen mother."

Aunt Yan helped Ling Xi and took her to the west chamber, and she continued: "A few days ago, when Your Majesty summoned Wu Juma in the Dongnuan Pavilion, the slave maid served tea to Your Majesty, and the slave maid heard His Majesty say that she wanted Wu Juma to go to the Nanxi battlefield in the future. ”

Ling Xi frowned, suddenly stopped, she looked at Aunt Yan angrily, and whispered: "Aunt Yan, Your Majesty doesn't like to inquire about the long and short of the person, and this palace doesn't like it either, if you are still so ignorant, Qingfeng Yuan is afraid that it will not be able to keep you." ”

With a pop, Aunt Yan knelt on the ground, "Queen Mother, the slave knows it's wrong." ”

Ling Xi looked at it

Glancing at Aunt Yan, she looked thoughtful, and whispered: "Aunt Yan, you said that Princess Zhaoqing is running in the harem like this, is it for the sake of the martial family, or for something else?" ”

"Queen Mother, maybe Princess Zhaoqing just doesn't want to return to the north and wants to have a closer relationship with His Majesty, but no matter what Princess Zhaoqing is planning, she can't stay in the harem."

Aunt An glanced up at Ling Xi, Ling Xi's face was not displeased, she continued: "And the Marquis of Pingyuan is unwell, I'm afraid it will be impossible to go to Nanxi's battlefield again, and the Marquis of Anguo will be the only commander in the southern military camp." The former emperor once said that the one who destroyed the four southern countries was crowned king, and the Ling family and the Jiang family were mutually restrained in the southern military camp, but now only the Jiang family is left, plus there are also the words of the former emperor, His Majesty summoned the military concubine to return to Yicheng at this time, and go to the battlefield of Nanxi, you can imagine what it is for. ”

Ling Xi's face stiffened, has Xiang Hongxuan begun to be jealous of the Jiang family? She remembered that after Wang An's death, Xiang Hongxuan did not follow the usual practice to let Ling Xiao of the national ruler take over the post of right minister, perhaps earlier, Xiang Hongxuan was already afraid of the Ling family and the Jiang family. And what about her? In the near future, will Xiang Hongxuan really be suspicious of her?

"Aunt Yan, do you know what happened to the death of the former emperor's Empress Bo?" Ling Xi picked up Aunt Yan, changed his words, and asked Empress Bo of Emperor Xuanwu.

"Queen Mother, when the slave maid entered the palace, Queen Bo had already passed away, and the slave maid really didn't know how Queen Bo died, but the slave maid had heard that Queen Bo was seriously ill after attending a palace banquet, and finally the doctors were ineffective in treatment and died violently."

"Palace banquet?"

"It is said that after the palace banquet, the palace people who accompanied Queen Bo to the palace banquet disappeared, and later some palace concubines were also sent to the cold palace, and the next year, Concubine Wang De sat on the throne of the queen, that is, the later queen mother."

"Is it the Queen Mother who disposed of those palace people?" Ling Xi asked.

Aunt Yan's face sneered, and she whispered: "Queen Mother, in the entire harem, the palace people can disappear silently, only the inner guards. ”

Aunt Yan's words touched Ling Xi's heart again. Queen Bo's death is really full of conspiracy, she doesn't believe that the queen mother will do nothing, just sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman, and they have all dispatched internal guards, there is nothing to hide from the investigation of internal guards. In other words, Emperor Xuanwu acquiesced in the unjust death of Empress Bo, and even dealt with the aftermath of the murderer. It seems that Jiang Zhennan is right, Emperor Xuanwu is deeply suspicious of Empress Bo, but unfortunately Empress Bo didn't know until she died.

Ling Xi thought of Wang Shuyue again, the poisoning case of Concubine Shu back then, she thought that Wang Shuyue was too anxious to be so embarrassed, now that she thinks about it, how lucky she should be.

"The flowers in the imperial garden are blooming, and the palace also wants to hold a flower viewing party, Aunt Yan, you go and prepare, the palace will invite everyone in the harem to enjoy the flowers."

"The slave obeys."

Suddenly, Ling Xi's hand held one of Aunt Yan's hands, and she said kindly: "Aunt Yan, this time for the flower viewing party, the palace also hopes that you can find a way to let Princess Zhaoqing leave the palace." ”

As soon as I heard this, I inadvertently

The corners of Aunt Yan's mouth rose slightly, and she whispered: "Queen Mother, please rest assured, the slave knows what to do." ”

Ling Xi looked at the sky again, she let out a long sigh, Ling Xi didn't want to, and didn't want to believe that Xiang Hongxuan would one day be as suspicious of herself as Emperor Xuanwu was jealous of Empress Bo, Xiang Hongxuan said that he would not fail her, she believed, she was convinced. However, Princess Zhaoqing is an unstable factor, and leaving the palace early is the best for her and the descendants.
